Educational Q&A

Even those who repeatedly face extreme pains such as violence and imprisonment still continue living and find moments of joy; therefore one should cultivate endurance (titikṣā) and not succumb to despair when afflicted by suffering.

In the Shanti Parva discourse, Bhishma is instructing Yudhishthira on conduct and inner strength; here he points to ordinary human resilience—people endure recurring calamities yet still engage in play, happiness, and laughter.
